Rebirth: A Cinderella's Counterattack

Chapter 1103: Chapter 1083: Returning to China

But happy times are always short, and soon it was time to say goodbye.

Qianqian looked at Luo Shufan with tears in her eyes, crying in his arms, unwilling to leave.

Luo Shufan was also full of reluctance. After not seeing each other for three years, how could he bear to part after just a few days together?

Xi Yue didn’t even come. Last night, he cooked a meal, watched Qianqian finish it, and left, saying he had work.

Tang Tianyi stood beside them, watching the siblings like an outsider, with a helpless smile on his face.

If it went on like this, he might get jealous!

”Brother, brother... woo woo woo, I don’t want to leave.” Qianqian clung tightly to Luo Shufan’s waist, refusing to let go.

Luo Shufan also had slightly wet eyes and gently patted Qianqian’s back, ”Be good...” Even though he didn’t want his sister to leave, he knew she would have to, so he didn’t say anything to persuade her to stay.

”When will you come back to see me?” Qianqian looked up, sniffling, with a face full of sadness. She rubbed her nose with her hand and wiped it with a tissue.

They both understood that this separation was for a better reunion.

”Maybe when you start missing me.” Luo Shufan bent down to plant a kiss on Qianqian’s forehead, took the tissue, and carefully wiped her tears, ”Qianqian is a big girl now and shouldn’t cry so easily, be careful or you’ll get laughed at.”

”Who dares?” Qianqian sniffled but obediently stopped crying, even though her eyes were still red, and she looked ready to cry a river if provoked.

”Yes, yes, no one dares. I love your smiling face the most, it warms people’s hearts. So, Qianqian, don’t cry like a little child anymore.” Luo Shufan looked at Qianqian gently. Between siblings, how could they not understand that feeling of reluctance?

”In front of my brother, I’m just a child.” Qianqian mumbled softly, lowering her head, then took out a photo from her pocket: ”When Dad was around, I didn’t have the chance to give this to you, this is our little brother.”

The photo showed An Zilan holding An Hao, with Qianqian smiling beside them. It was taken the day before An Hao’s first birthday, with the help of He Wenyu.

Luo Shufan took the photo, looked at the three people on it, instantly lost in thought, shook his head, and then smiled, ”An Hao looks a lot like you when you were little.”

”Liar.” Qianqian pouted, ”I’m fair-skinned, not this dark.”

Although she knew she was dark-skinned, it was a thing of the past, and now it wasn’t obvious. She absolutely couldn’t admit it.

Especially not in front of Tang Tianyi.

Luo Shufan glanced at Tang Tianyi and walked over to him, giving his shoulder a firm punch, ”Take care of Qianqian, if she suffers even a little!”

”I’ll commit seppuku.” Tang Tianyi rolled his eyes, ”Brother, do you think I would bear it?”

Luo Shufan grumbled, ”Don’t call me brother, I haven’t acknowledged you yet.”

Tang Tianyi shrugged indifferently, ”Oh, Shufan.”

Luo Shufan frowned, why did he feel like he was taken advantage of?

Watching the two of them board the plane, he tightly grasped the photo in his hand, thinking of the jade stones Qianqian had left with a heart full of care, and couldn’t help but shake his head, looking up at the sky, ”Ah, but you just left, and I already miss you.”

”Then quickly graduate and bring your business back to the country, wouldn’t that be nice?” Xi Yue popped up from somewhere, walked to Luo Shufan’s side, took the photo from his hand, looked at it for a moment, and chuckled, ”It seems you and Qianqian resemble me more.”

An Hao’s features were much like An Zilan’s.

”They say children resemble the more intelligent parent, seeing your brother’s face reassures me.” Xi Yue handed the photo back to Luo Shufan, patted his shoulder, ”Make good use of your time. Now, protecting your sister requires even more effort.”

”Yes...”

Qianqian unknowingly reached this stage. What else could he do? He could only strive to catch up; he can’t let his sister shoulder everything in the future.

Qianqian blinked from her seat on the plane, ”Dad’s at the airport.”

Tang Tianyi was momentarily taken aback but nodded.

Even he could feel it, so how could Qianqian not know?

”Men are just pretentious,” she said. Even though he said he wouldn’t come to send them off, he still came but didn’t show up.

Despite that, Qianqian felt warmth in her heart, knowing that Dad still cared for her.

Tang Tianyi couldn’t help but laugh and cry, so he leaned closer to Qianqian with a stern face, ”Oh? Am I pretentious?”

Qianqian gave him a disdainful glance, ”You and my brother are just...boys.”

Hearing Qianqian’s words, Tang Tianyi’s mouth twitched, not knowing how to refute, shrugged helplessly, ”Who made you so young? I’m helpless too, okay?”

”Is that my fault?”

”Or mine?”

Qianqian pouted at Tang Tianyi, then leaned closer after a moment, asking softly, ”Did you get jealous when my brother hugged me just now?”

”What’s there to be jealous of? It’s just for these few years; soon, you’ll be mine forever!” Tang Tianyi looked at Qianqian, speaking harshly, yet his eyes were full of helplessness.

What could he do? Qianqian was still a minor! A minor!

He was already insanely jealous, but there was nothing he could do. They were family; he was still an outsider. What could he do?

”Really?” Qianqian looked skeptical.

Tang Tianyi widened his eyes and naturally draped an arm over Qianqian’s shoulder, ”Or what?” His slightly squinting eyes brimmed with threat.

Qianqian shrugged gently, ”You seem to have a lot of confidence, Young Master Tang. Where does this confidence come from?”

Using her hand to mimic a microphone, she brought her fist to Tang Tianyi’s chin, wearing a sly expression.

Tang Tianyi naturally grasped her small hand, bringing it to his mouth, while his other arm still held Qianqian tightly. He leaned in close to her ear with a mischievous smile, saying, ”Probably, something ... white.”

”I got it.” Qianqian glanced at Tang Tianyi’s face, quietly changed her fist into a palm, and covered his mouth, fearing he might spout something shocking.

Tang Tianyi smiled triumphantly, saying nothing, but his expression made Qianqian grind her teeth.

Luckily, a pretty stewardess diverted their attention.

”Could I offer you something to drink? Coffee, tea, or...”

”Two glasses of iced water.”

The stewardess and Tang Tianyi spoke at the same time, and Qianqian’s eyes curved into a smile.

The business class still offered wine, but considering one was underage and the other barely an adult, they decided against it.

Remembering the last time they drank, both of them turned red.

After drinking the ice water and resting with their eyes closed for a while, they arrived.

But it seemed like their arrival was a bit different from what they had imagined?
